EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases the exquisite "Habit of the King of Poland and Elector of Saxony in 1700". The detailed illustration, part of the renowned Recueil des Habillements de Differentes Nations, transports us back to a time when fashion was an art form. The regal figure depicted is adorned in a magnificent ensemble fit for royalty. His majestic robes cascade elegantly down his frame, exuding power and authority. A fur cloak drapes over his shoulders, adding a touch of opulence to his attire. A feathered headdress sits atop his head, symbolizing his noble status. In one hand, he holds a sceptre—a symbol of sovereignty—while in the other hand rests a sword with an intricately designed scabbard. These emblems further emphasize his role as both king and elector. Every detail has been meticulously captured by the English School artist who created this engraving. From the intricate patterns on his clothing to the fine craftsmanship of each accessory, it is evident that no expense was spared in creating this royal outfit. This print serves as a testament to not only historical fashion but also European culture during this period.
